“Clipsham cottage was absolutely lovely.”

We had a great time there for a week. The cottage itself was cosy and very well equipped. We took our two Irish setters who seemed very happy - plenty of good dog walks. If you are after off-lead dog walking we would recommend parking at Barnsdale car park (Rutland Water) and there is a decent section where dogs are allowed off lead. The other good place for allowing dogs to run free was Fineshade Wood. It's a lovely part of the world. We would definitely recommend an evening meal at ...
